Oh I seeeee. You have strange ways Smuffington.

I guess I got thrown by the 6-2 where I expected some variation of 5-3.

Parker raises good points about why Elektra leaving could have made more sense. but Parker also doesn't have the full picture. I still feel like Elektra is my #1 on this tribe and #sorrynotsorry I'm not letting her leave that easy. If she's playing me, well kudos to her. If she's not, this gamble was definitely worth the hassle.

Now the plan was supposed to be MJ and then itemless Otto. Assuming Spidey will either self-play the idol or at worst, try carry it through the round under the assumption a shuffle is incoming. But two unexpected things happened tonight. One was them knowing about the vote in advance. Cap very quickly (pre-vote even) blamed it on Thor. Thor denies it.

It's tricky because, while it's exactly the sort of thing Thor would do to be noble and all that, it fits better with my perception of Cap - trying to be seen as the All-American hero but really an untrustable shit playing the middle harder than even me.

Thing number two is that Otto was all alone on the vote with Spidey's switch. That will drive a wedge there, more of a wedge than if they were in the minority together.

Honestly I'd boot Cap right now in a heartbeat. it will be hard to get the votes to do that though. Maybe not that hard actually. Thor likes Otto and knows Cap scaped him (if it's true), Otto & Parker will want a way out. I wonder what J&E would think. Elektra at least knows I've not trusted Cap from the get-go although she won't be round to talk, and I think she'd rather do Otto/Spidey. Plus it would make sense to keep this five strong even if that does mean a pissed off Parker.

I will sleep on all this.

3 - 2 on Otto / Spidey I presume.

I said sod this and went to see the Hunger Games instead of this game today, so I expect there's something different happening by now.

For me;
Quote:
 
3 for Otto - Johnny, Capsicle, myself
1 for Parker - bounceback of Parker's Elektra vote
1 for Thor - bounceback of Thor's Otto vote.
2 for Elektra - One from Otto, and Parker must have doubled up?

Do you still think two Hammers were allowed to be used at the same Eliminations Ceremony or has that changed now that I beg the question? :ha

So even though we have kinda reached Stage II, I'm not quite ready to move on to a new journal yet. I will delay this List for a start until I get home and out of college (and maybe sober up). I have to assume this is the lolpwnt people were hoping for with a 30-person merge. Reshuffle to 3 tribes of 10? Sounds about right. Maybe we have a trip boot first and 3x 9-man tribes.

How would you split it though from a list? Let me see. Popularity? You run the risk of all the best being on one tribe and a slaughter of "better" players. Could still happen though. Maybe you aim for that and hope the top tribes are equal and you end up with a good mix? idk. I don't think it would work. It would be Star Wars-esque with the randos getting split and shuffled only with 5into3 instead of 3into2. I don't know what other way to approach this without being more like some kind of complext person-to-person algorithm which I think is unlikely.

So. Assuming it is probably that then, likely results;

Blue tribe with seven give each other good boosts. Clint maybe lacking a little. Vanko definitely lacking.

Zenn-La are pretty tight and give each other boosts and get near all perfect high-placements for it. But there's only five of them. However, Shaw/Pepper/Jean Grey to get high-mid spots outside this tribe and do well for. NC & HG? idk. Maybe.

Three sets of six even each other out. Us to take a big hit as most everyone drops Parker. Also Parker drops a lot of us. Parker to probs land on weakest tribe and do very well because of it.

Titan. Banner to do well. No clue for rest.

Green. nfi.

So from all that, at best guess I land on mid tribe of three. That works. Top tribe to be mostly Blue/X-men. Bottom to be cast-offs. I could live on bottom tribe. More likely looking at some kind of tribe containing as many of Xandar as possible plus Grimm (& Pepper/Shaw??). Avoiding the whores, especially Parker. Maybe pick up some potential mid-tiers like Clint / Banner / weaker Blue tribe members.

Shit. This means I need to talk with green more. Loki / Sue / Grimm (/Schmidt?) will be my social targets over the weekend. Also my SG partners. idk whether to try drop Cap / Thor to obscurity in the ranking and stick them to tribe 3 and shirk that target. Or try ensure they get bumped by over-weighting them. idek if my list will have all that much weight considering 30 votes. If we could PM about this I would totally try skew the results harder.

Elektra pointed that out days ago. Keep up woman.

You're too stupid to run an organization. It's a good thing that Titan didn't fall into your hands, Stark.

I don't claim cleverness. I'm just trying is all.

That's what Pepper is for. Didn't you see the shambles of Xandar?
